No matter how wrong it is. Personally I think the lyrics are the worst part. Yeah, they're totally tossed off, but there's wit in there, and it doesn't matter, to me, given the whole vibe of the song. If it were sung as some kinda confessional ballad, then it would be trite trash, but what it is, as it stands, is this life-affirming burst of confident groove. >You kidz is from Mars or sumthin.

"Ok Computer" plummets rapidly downhill after, oh, "Airbag", the first track. "Paranoid Android" was a "Bohemian Rhapsody" for the Nineties....and that's not a complement. To be fair, there's some decent tracks on the album -- it just reeks of Progressive Rock, which as we all know, is not a good thing - pay attention, Muse. It's not as turgid as that woeful effort The Verve put out at the same time, though. A bucketful of albums sold on the back of one looping Stones sample.

Good call...it's a helluva lot easier than accepting things for what dey ISN'T. I guess that's why I ain't a music journo ;-) Everyone on this list, in their way, is a music journalist, by nature of this being a music list, and it being the written word and all. I've just figured out how to get (somewhat) paid for it. (Ultimately, of course, my opinions are just as worthless as everyone else's.) (Actually, that's not true. I tried on the false frock of humility--didn't fit.) >UP THERE, baby, UP there. So tell us, is it "heaven up there"? Nah. Hell. But my higher hell beats your lower Heaven. (Wow--on topic AND nasty--I'm on a streak, ma!) Hugs n' kisses, kiddy-katz, Chris A.
